Alcohol

Description

It's often said that one glass of red wine can be good for you, but current research is challenging this view. This video clip looks at research from both sides to determine if there are any health benefits from alcohol. Dr. Tanya Chikritzhs has been researching hundreds of studies to see if there's any evidence that alcohol can protect against heart disease and cancer. Creina Stockley, a pharmacologist from the Australian Wine Research Institute, has reviewed the apparent health benefits of alcohol. Not surprisingly, the findings from the two scientists are quite different.
